Interesting passage

So I sit down to read the Bible in my new prayer room this evening and, after praying that the Holy Spirit would guide me as I read His Word, I open it to Psalm 127:

Children too are a gift from the LORD, the fruit of the womb, a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children born in one's youth.
Blessed are they whose quivers are full.

Why, out of the entire Bible, did I open it to that passage? Was I supposed to read that?

I've been thinking a lot about it and what comes to mind first is that just because someone is blessed doesn't mean that I'm not blessed. It's like when a parent praises one child, it doesn't mean the other child is worthy of punishment. Those two things don't necessarily go hand in hand.

I get that, but it still confuses me. It might not mean that I'm being punished but, then, what does it mean? Maybe nothing.

I just thought I'd throw that out there. Interesting, too, that I read it right after learning (on Twitter of all places) that there's another abandoned newborn baby near us. Found today, alive, in a paper bag. Why? What is happening in our world that parents can take a living, breathing, crying little tiny baby and place it in a paper bag and leave it who knows where, while some of us are praying nearly 24 hours a day just to be able to care for someone else's baby, let alone conceive one of our own?

I do not stand in judgment. The parent(s) might have been scared, lonely, mentally or physically ill. But I just can't help but wonder what it will take before parents in that situation will know to turn to an adoption agency for help. There are millions of couples who would take that baby in an instant, including Ryan and I, who were, according to Map.quest, exactly four miles away from the location where the baby was found. There is no reason, in this day and age, that a baby should spend a nano-second in a paper bag out in the cold.

In other news, I made an appointment with Dr. Steg.man today. It's for January 28. 2010. Who would've thought back in 2004, when I was a naive bride, that at the start of the next decade I'd still have no children? No one, I'm sure. And that's why God doesn't reveal the future to us - we'd never be able to handle it. I would have absolutely lost my mind if I had been told of my current situation back then. So thank you, God. I really do appreciate that.
